Nosing: Eiche Beeren Pflaume Mandeln Kräuter Floral Minze

Taste: Eiche Gewürze Apfel Beeren Pfeffer Herb Kaffee

Finish: Leder Eiche Nüsse Mandeln

Comment: A different type of "oakiness" than I'm used to. I'm not quite getting the fruitiness that comes with a typical Glenlivet (soft green tree fruits) but they are present. Bitterness as you down it, but the good kind (thus the coffee tasticon), a nice step up from the 12 in terms of range of flavors and complexity.
